Need Book Details to be included in DB

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Need advanced book specifications to be included in Database, such as:

1. Dimensions (Length, Width, and Height.  Should be 3 separate fields)
2. Weight
3. Page Count
4. ISBN-13 (I think we have the ISBN-10 currently)
5. Format (Hardcover/Softcover)
6. Publisher
7. Language (might not be so necessary, since we only have English books ATM)
8. Publishing Date

Until these are implemented, I'll simply use dummy values in the book details 
page.

Also: 

9. Edition

and note that Publishing Date should be split into 3 entries: month, day, and 
year.

Also note that months should be stored in numerical format for easy 
comparison/translation.

Also note that we need to have all prices and quantities for the various 'used' 
conditions of books.  ie,

"Like New" price and quantity
"Very Good" price and quantity
"Good" price and quantity
"Terrible" price and quantity

(thus 8 new entries in total).

Need to add prices for various books for each book supported by our Campus 
Compare feature.

• Added labels: Priority-High
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium

Well Andrew entering these details in DB requires much more time and I dont 
think I have time to enter these many details in DB. 
   I have entered Data for each book for Campus compare feature though and making it up won't be much of a problem. Publisher is already in the DB. 
   I would like to receive your comment over this. And please suggest me if you have any other work around in mind.

As per our conversation over Skype, a lot of these changes will have to go 
unimplemented in the DB.  However, you mentioned that you should be able to get 
the used book prices implemented (re: comment #3), which should be sufficient 
to implement our highest priority functionality.  Thanks Nilay! :)

As of now, the site uses only ISBN-13, which is the one stored in the database. 
There's no pressing need for ISBN-10.
